However, the Western Saint Church was indeed an obstacle that had to be dealt with for her plan, so she made this decision. First, let Xiaobai defeat Luminas, force Luminas to surrender, and then give Luminas a treasure that was invaluable to her, in order to gain the loyalty of the Queen of the Night.

This Demon King's Banquet is almost over.

Although there will be a real banquet later (with free food and drinks), and she can also obtain some information from Guy that only the Demon King is qualified to know, she is not interested in the upcoming banquet, so she leaves early with Xiaobai.

Rimuru stayed because he was still interested in the upcoming banquet, and his friends Milim and Ramiris also planned to stay.

......

Luminas originally planned to invite Xiao Si to the Western Saint Church, but suddenly something seemed to happen and she left in a hurry. Xiao Si watched her leave, although she didn't mind helping as long as Luminas asked (because she was already her subordinate). But since Luminas didn't say anything, she just pretended not to know.

Leave the White Ice Palace and return to Rimuru Castle.

Wearing the ring of the devil's proof on his hand,

The ring was just a tool for Guy to contact them, it had no special function. Guy did not leave any surveillance methods on the ring, I don't know if Guy thought it was unnecessary or if Guy did not have the ability to do so. If it was her, she would definitely leave surveillance methods, and she was confident that her methods would not be discovered.

"You are free now, but you should know what you cannot do." She planned to set Clayman free. This chess piece was no longer useful to her. Even if Clayman had connections with the Free Guild and the Eastern Empire, she had no intention of using Clayman to get involved. Clayman had already played out his value.

"Owner?"

Clement felt the connection between him and his master disappear, and he was immediately panicked. Although he had long known that in his master's mind he was just a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time, he had never expected that the day of being abandoned would come so soon.

If he was normal, he would be happy to be free now. But Clement was no longer normal from the moment he became a puppet. Compared to regaining his freedom, he wanted to be recognized and acknowledged by his master, and hoped to have the opportunity to serve his master, so his mood was quite bad at the moment.

“I won’t give up so easily, I will prove my worth to you!” Clement’s expression was distorted. He knew what his master wanted to do, so even if he was abandoned by his master now, he could continue to help his master and prove his ability to him!

With this in mind, Kleiman contacted two different superiors.

Tell them—

"The plan failed."

"Not only did the Monster Federation not suffer any losses, but the Slime Leader turned a disaster into a blessing and completed his awakening. He has also discovered that I was the one manipulating these things behind the scenes."

The original Kleiman had two uplines.

One is the black hand that he himself is not aware of but does exist, and will report the situation unconsciously. If Clement had not become a puppet of the master, he would probably not realize until his death that he had been controlled by others.

The true identity of this black hand is the Minister of Intelligence of the Eastern Empire.

Except for this upline that he shouldn't have known about.

The other online organization is the one that Kleiman originally belonged to.

Clayman was originally a member of "The Mediocre Clown Company". He was a subordinate of the former Demon Lord Kazaream. After Kazaream was killed by Demon Lord Leon, he cooperated with the alien summoned to this world in order to resurrect Kazaream. In order to help that person fulfill his ambition to conquer the world, he volunteered to become a demon king and collect intelligence on the demon camp for them. The reward was the resurrection of Kazaream - that person had already paid the reward in advance.

This is also the reason why Xiao Si did not kill him at the beginning, because Clayman's identity is too suitable to take the blame. Not only does his original organization want to conquer the world, but the people who use their power to control him are also high-level officials of the Eastern Empire. The Eastern Empire has always been eyeing the Western Continent and wants to unify the world. If the Eastern Empire wants to start a war, there are only three routes to enter the Western Continent. One is to cross the sea, the second is to pass through the natural fortress of the armed country Dowagun, and the third is the Jura Forest belonging to Veldora.

In the last war, the Eastern Empire chose the strategy of conquering the Jura Forest, and even wanted to capture the Storm Dragon Veldora and dominate it, but the result was the annihilation of the army, which caused great damage to the country. The empire did not recover until recent years.

The first person to respond to Kleiman was his former boss.

"I guessed this would be the result. Sigh, maybe I should have chosen another path. I underestimated Rimuru after all. I didn't expect that even Hinata couldn't be his match. Now, Clement, you are lucky to be safe."

"Yes, I sensed his murderous intentions at the Demon King's Banquet. In his camp, there are three great demon kings. The god of the Western Holy Church, Luminas, is one of the ancient demon kings. She has now surrendered to the Demon King Lucifer. The Demon King Lucifer seems to be an ally of the slime. It was this lord who ruined my plan before."

"Demon King Lucifer?"

"Yes, his race is the highest-ranking angel, possessing time and space-related abilities. At the banquet, Master Riki personally admitted that Master Lucifer's strength is no less than his."

"...It seems that the situation is more serious than I thought. Clement, give up the power you have managed. Not only that, you should also give up your identity as the Demon King. Take your elite troops and leave that place immediately."

"But if we abandon this place, we won't be able to protect the ruins."

"It's okay, Kazaream also agreed. Your safety is more important!"

"I understand, but I may not be able to take my subordinates with me. When I came back, I noticed that there was surveillance magic nearby, and most of them are temporarily loyal to me because of their positions and interests. It may be difficult to get them to leave with me at this time. Even if I use the control spell, it is difficult for me to completely control them with my ability."

Kleiman is lying.

Because of his master, he had acquired the ultimate skill the moment he awakened, and his ability was even able to negate forced control and maintain his self-consciousness.

Clayman's Ultimate Skill:

——"Lord of Curses"

——The effect is:

The Domination Spell

"camouflage"

"Nullification of Domination"

《魔

Strengthening the spell

Puppet Control

[Chapter 75: Clement’s Gift]

Kleiman hung up the communication.

Next, he will exit the stage as planned.

His life belongs to his master. Since his master set him free instead of letting him die here, he cannot die here. And he thinks his master did this because he felt he still had surplus value, so he did not order him to sacrifice. If that is the case, then he has to prove himself next!

"I'll give this to you, Demon King Rimuru. Although I don't know why the master values ​​a slime like you, but since it is the master's choice, I will obey." Clement did not contact his subordinates, but left a crystal ball with his message recorded, and then left the country through a teleportation item.

The message in the message is -

If the Monster Federation attacks, then surrender to them. Given the character of Demon Lord Rimuru, he will not kill them all.

Poor Kistaiwu Kingdom's soldiers received an urgent report from the front line and rushed to inform their king, but they received such a message. For a moment, the order of Kistaiwu Kingdom collapsed completely. After seeing Clayman's message, the demon in charge of commanding the battle immediately gave up the battle and returned to the city to break into Clayman's treasure house.

However, due to his actions, the frontline troops were defeated just after the battle began and became prisoners of the enemy. After seeing Clayman's message, several other generals controlled by Clayman also chose to surrender to the Monster Federation as soon as possible. Because Clayman told them in the message that if they wanted to remove his curse, they should go to the Demon King Rimuru.

The demon who had previously commanded the battle was later found dead in front of the door of the treasury. The cause of death was that he tried to break into the treasury and triggered the trap in the treasury.

Rimuru looked at Clement's former subordinates kneeling in front of him and felt a headache for a moment. He suspected that this was a conspiracy set up by Clement, but the King of Wisdom told him that he could modify the spell they were under and change their loyalty to himself.

That is to say-

Kleiman literally gave up on his country.

"Lord Rimuru, we have conquered the Kingdom of Kistawu. The enemy offered no resistance, and we succeeded in taking the city without any effort."

Benimaru reports back from the front line.

This war was too easy.

At the beginning of the invasion, the enemy organized an army to resist for a while, but soon after the message from the devil Clement was heard, the generals surrendered with their troops without saying a word. Only a certain undead did not receive Clement's message due to delayed information, but he alone could not stop the army and was quickly defeated.

Hongmaru didn't even have a chance to show his abilities in this battle.

"oh oh."

Rimuru felt something was unreal.

After meeting Clayman at the Demon King's Banquet, he originally thought that this might be a tough battle, but he didn't expect that Clayman would choose to flee without a fight just after he sent out his troops.

"You didn't encounter any accidents?"

"No, because Clayman ruled the country with fear and spells, so after Clayman escaped, these people surrendered very easily. Only the commander who was in charge of commanding the operation was found dead in front of Clayman's treasure house. Thanks to this greedy guy, the trap of the treasure house had been triggered by him."

"That's it..."

Rimuru didn't know how to comment on this matter.

I always feel that it was all planned by Clement.

But he didn't understand why.

There is no doubt that Clement has completed his awakening, and as expected, he possesses ultimate skills. In addition, the generals under Clement are not weak either. If there is a head-on battle, there is hope that he will defeat his own army.

He couldn't understand why Kleiman would give up.

"It's a guess. Maybe they saw Kouji's power at the Demon King's Banquet and thought he would help us, so they decided he couldn't be our opponent."

Rimuru only reacted after hearing the words of the King of Wisdom.

Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Si and Xiao Bai were on the same side as him. Only he himself knew that it was difficult for him to convince them to help.

"Okay, then accept their surrender."

After Rimuru figured out the reason, he stopped worrying about it.

He had previously suspected that Kleiman had some conspiracy.

But when he was reminded by the King of Wisdom and guessed that Clayman was afraid of Xiao Si, he was sure that there was no trap here. As long as Clayman did not want to die, he would not dare to do so, because Xiao Si's strength was completely on a different level from theirs.

"Yes."

Hong Wan took the order and went down to deal with it.

Rimuru looked at the three people below at this time.

Clement's three generals.

Thumb--Nine-headed beast.

Index finger——Adalman, the Immortal King.

Pinky——Demon Pironie.

"I can remove Clayman's spell, but I don't force you to be loyal to me. If you want to go somewhere, you can leave on your own after the spell is lifted. But if you want to join my country, you must abide by my rules."

Although the strength of these three generals is good, if they surrender, the country's combat power will increase a lot, but it is precisely because of their strength that if they want to cause sabotage

, and it can also cause him some considerable trouble.

Therefore, he chose to let them decide whether to stay or leave, and not force them to join.

Done.

Rimuru asked the King of Wisdom to remove their curse.

The nine-headed beast was the first to make a decision.

This is a magical beast that looks like a fox, with three tails on its back. It is very similar to the nine-tailed fox in Rimuru's memory, and it is even very likely that they are of the same race.

The nine-headed beast expressed its willingness to surrender to Rimuru through its mind.

Rimuru welcomed this.

Next came the Undead King. He said that he had nowhere to go, and he was willing to work for Rimuru as long as Rimuru was willing to give him a place to settle down.

This undead is very powerful, and it also controls a swordsman of similar strength. It is equivalent to a high-end package of one get one free. Rimuru is also very happy about their joining, and now the city's defense strength will increase a lot.

Pilonne said he wanted to retire.

He was originally deceived by Clement and had to obey Clement after being cursed. Now that he is free, he wants to return to his hometown to live.

Rimuru did not try to stop him.

Choose to let Pironie go.

Next, Rimuru came to Kistaiwu and received the citizens of this country, asking them to pack their bags and return to the Jura Forest. Those who did not want to leave could stay, but his country currently did not have any extra troops to stay here.

Although they successfully conquered the country.

But what came next was his headache.

He could not take over the territory of this country.

Because he didn't have enough troops.

[Chapter 76: Victory Dinner]

After Rimuru returned from the Demon King's Banquet, he began to prepare for war. The key to forcing Rimuru to this point was "Clayman's actions in the parallel world", because in another world, Clayman killed Rimuru's subordinates. To Rimuru, these subordinates were like family members, so as early as when he attended the Demon King's Banquet, Rimuru had already made up his mind to kill Clayman.

However, he did not expect that the Clement in this world not only successfully awakened, but also did not attack him during the Demon King's Banquet. Compared with the Clement in another world, he was obviously more threatening.

So he was prepared that this war would not be easy. Rimuru did not even think about taking into account the fighting power of Xiao Si and Xiao Bai, because he knew that he could not use these two people. So he was even prepared to use his ultimate move to slaughter Clayman's subordinates in case of emergency, and use those corpses to summon demons to help fight.

but--

Rimuru's thoughts were careful and cautious.

But Kleiman's opinion was ignored.

In Clayman's eyes, Xiao Si, who said that at the Demon King's banquet, was naturally on Rimuru's side. The other Demon Kings probably had the same idea. So if Rimuru went to war, he would have to consider the possibility of facing four Demon Kings at the same time. One of the Demon Kings was even a monster of Guy's level.

When Rimuru figured this out.

He thought that his greatest enemy, Clayman, had already escaped. Letting this guy go was obviously a huge threat. Although Rimuru thought so, it was obviously irreversible at this point, and he didn't know where Clayman was hiding. Maybe he would cause serious harm to him the next time he showed up? But the only thing he could do now was to accept this victory and enjoy the joy of victory.
